Without unscrambled eggs, there was no time travel, no more depredation of the Now, and we could look to a brighter future of long-term thought--and more reading.

About This Quote

In the movie Back to the Future, Marty McFly traveled into the future. He arrived in November of 2015, but what he didn’t realize was that if he hadn’t been able to get a good egg in a restaurant in 1955, he wouldn’t have been able to travel through time. Eggs are an important part of our history and without them we wouldn’t have been able to keep going forward. By eating scrambled eggs in 2015, Marty was able to keep going forward.

We think about the past and look to our future because of eggs. This is a great inspirational quote!
